you can try running and vaulting and even crawling around trying to get out....i usually am able to get out when that happens....i think only once i wasn't able to and had a friend shoot me as i clipped through a wall...

right click on dayz in your game list...somewhere in there is an option to verify your game files...it will probably redownload some stuff and then you should be able to play...if not then you need more guidance than i can provide....

:)

read around the forums man....its a well known issue right now and they are working on it...the guy with the helmet is a rolled back character of you in the past at some point...those are correct since they rolled back when they did the update....the respawns are servers that are not working correctly...i beleive its a problem with them not conecting with the main database or some shit like that...play the servers with the helmet guy on them and wait for the rest to be fixed

i thought the same thing myself...until i ran into a few bodies....knowing they had been killed less than 10 minutes ago seriously added some stress...

HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHH....sounds about right to me man...

i like the food/drink/blood system myself...if you eat and drink a bunch when you first spawn to the point where your full its pretty easy to maintain your food/drink level....basically what window licker said.....

you can get the pistols and the mosin in all sorts of places across the map....moslty the m4 and the military clothing and stuff is only at the military places...just keep looking...once you figure out where to go to look for what, its much easier to get geared up and survive...

i had that happen aswell...didn't matter if i was standing,crouching or prone...the bullet would hit an invisible wall right in front of me...

I of course use the gamma/brightness trick to see at night like most people...recently i noticed my game isn't bright at night like it used to be. usually the ground, roads and my character will be bright and clear. Now its all blacked out, with only the roofs of buildings, the horizon and sky being highlighted really at all. characters are almost blacked out and impossible to see against the black ground. sometimes the ground is so saturated with dark it appears purplish. this is also happening to the other two people i play with. also it doesn't do it all the time although it is 95% of the time. I know this is basically looked at as a cheat, its so widely used one must look at it as a feature. and ATM this feature isn't working for me so i feel im at a disadvantage....lol.. has anyone ever experienced this issue....or fix it??

i would love to play at night without useing the exploit but as it is now its just stupid not to use it....the nights would be the best part if two things would happen... 1. brighten up the night a little and most importantly add some color...i mean yea...night time makes colors dull but it doesn't make things black and grey.... 2. do something to stop EVERYONE from using the exploit (though this is probably impossible since you can probably still adjust the gamma and brightness externally of the game)....

well....i turned off the clouds thinking that may be the problem but i suppose it wouldn't make much difference if there isn't a moon for the clouds to cover..

i kinda thought maybe it was something to do with the moon but IDK....i really wish they would just make the nights brighter and colorful...that photoshop of the dayz night that went around was amazing...
